Finally, I have uploaded the game. As soon as it gets approved, I'll post the link here, I'd like some comments, and later on, a review.
Based on John Ronald Reuel Tolkien's Middle-Earth collection. It tells the story of the birth of the Uruk-Hai (dont tell me that Saruman created the Uruk-Hai, that's a lot of movie bull). Basically, it's a B&D/FF scenario. You start out with a army of Uruks under your control, plus various heroes (villians) like Khamul, or the fictional Belfaug (thought up by me, name stands for "breathtaking power" in Sindarin, or perhaps Quenja, unsure.). Anyway, you must fight your way through the forest-land of Ithilien and finally, reach the ancient city of Osgiliath and torch it to the ground.
It features:
-Best ever soundtrack (LotR themed, non-movie)
-Voice-acting
-New eye candy/trigger tricks
-Bitmap
-Detailed story
-Breathtaking scenery
-Realistic hostile battle tactics, such as ambushes and counter-attacks.
and many more.
Usually I refrain from boasting about my work that much, but I think that this one is worth it. It is a cut above the rabble of other LotR maps on the blacksmith (save for two certain masterpieces, which will make quite fine adversaries)(Yes you, Mashek and VonCograth, and Mashek's War of the Ring seems really similar to this plot, mine's just cooler! MUHHAHAHAHA!
).No screens at this point, stupid XS... *mutters*

A lot of time between completion and uploading, don't you think.
Depending on the reception it gets, I might decide to do a prologue to this as well.
